C/O 2017 Median LSAT/GPA/Class Size Forum

[JCougar]

Why is ND so unpopular? Similar numbers and they have dat football team.

But if you don't like football, South Bend sucks. Royally.

I love football and I never want to be in south bend.

Holy hell W&L! And they even threw around fantastic money!

GW law is up:
class size: 504( +71) full time and 35 part time
median: 3.71(0), 165(0) LSAT

guess they held their medians. but increased their class size

I'm a bit surprised that they held with such a large class.

I'm surprised too. I wonder what their 25th and 75th Lsat are. I wonder why they increased their class size when their dean wanted to reduce it.

(At GW). Jesus christ. That's up 140 over two years, not to mention the 100 person transfer class they took this year. You can feel it here school. OCI was brutal, the classes are tight, hallways too full, etc.

Trap school 100%.

They increased for money. Anecdotally, so many here pay full tuition.

the school is really small. I think they just had alot of people accept offers this year. You would think less people are applying to law school.

I'm more than a bit surprised.

Well, when you look at this:

http://www.lstscorereports.com/schools/ ... yers/2013/

and if you forget to add in the % school-funded, it looks really good. I'm not surprised that people applied in droves.
It will be very interesting to see how the c/o 2014 did, considering the harshness of this year's OCI in their thread.

GW has no home market to place into, since DC is barely a market. I think DC might be the worst place in the country to try and get Biglaw, but Chicago is close. And with Federal agencies only slowly awakening from their budget freezes, if at all, DC, with its insane cost of living, is probably just a bad place to go to school.

GW placed around 200 people in Biglaw/clerkships last year and it has a good reputation, especially on the east coast. The problem is that GW keeps bringing in tons of students even though it's clear that around 35% of its graduating class every year will struggle to find jobs. They could easily cut class sizes and improve their overall employment score by a good margin, but the administration seems intent on keeping classes huge.

I can see GW being a pretty good option if you get a steep discount, but paying sticker is extremely risky and hard to justify.

Congrats to GW for holding, I think we got all top 20 schools.

In terms of LSAT medians. Still waiting on some 25/75 and class sizes--which will be interesting.

Any word on fordham?

Any word on fordham?

No word on the ultimate trap yet.
509's due soon though.

Is it feasible to go fordham to nyu/columbia/Cornell or would I be better off doing something like Cardozo if I got a significant amount of money and would love to work on the innocence project, and would even be happy long term working on something like that?

[Rigo]

Is it feasible to go fordham to nyu/columbia/Cornell...

What does this even mean? Don't go to a school planning to transfer.
As for the Innocence Project and Cardozo, someone else will have to chime in.
I'm very skeptical of all NYC metro schools except Columbia and NYU, but I don't know the specifics of non-biglaw goals. PI is still very competitive from what I've gathered and school prestige still matters a lot.

I wouldn't count on transferring, there's a lot of information on these forums as to why it's never a good idea to go into law school with the intent to transfer.

Cardozo and Fordham are not great options due to their relatively poor job prospects and the insanely high cost of attending those schools. Check out this website for more information on job prospects.

Yeah this. And from what I understand, UM's innocence project is the leader in the country. At least statistically speaking.

Where can you find statistics like this? I've wanted to intern at one of the innocence projects since my mom told me about it in her studies, and I know cardozo was where it all started but I've never been able to find statistics about what universities get more students involved in something like that.

Rule of thumb for everything: T13 is superior to non-T13.

I compared a lot of the schools that have those clinics. I didn't look into Cardozo, though, as I am not applying.

Fun fact: GW and Fordham have almost the same employment scores when you discount school-funded jobs.
